The Canadian province of Quebec formed the Quebec, Montreal, Ottawa and Occidental Railway (QMO&OR) in 1874 to link those cities since private companies, without the usual subsidies from the Federal Government of Canada, could not get financing, mainly because the Grand Trunk Railway was lobbying against it

Show us your adventures on that train. Do some research and write a story or modify the image to give is a sense of what you experienced.

@ds106dc#tdc2427 Today's Daily Create: Year is 1876. Took a train heading North to Deadwood, South Dakota. Sat by a man who went by 'Wild Bill.' He was interesting and had a fiery personality. I made sure to stay on my side of the seat. #ds106#digme256

Watching out the window, the train chugging along as the Palais Station disappears in the distance and little towns and houses come and go out of sight. Soon, Montréal will appear, and then my journey, for now, will end@ds106dc#tdc2427#ds106

#tdc2427#ds106 while playing in the hot sun they decided to take a break and explore this old train in hopes of getting out of the sun. While aboard they heard these strange noises and grew curious as to what it was. They began to investigate and were shocked by what they found

@ds106dc#tdc2427 Today's #ds106 Daily Create: Took a long train ride heading west across prairies, mountains and deserts. Met many new and interesting people. Had an interesting conversation with an old gent. He seemed lonely and welcomed my company. Then I took a nap.

#tdc2427#ds106 The kids jumped on the back of the moving machine, like they did every morning and rode it down the hill of San Francisco, watching Alcatraz come into sight and wonder if there would be an escape tonight...
